That's not bad at all. Anything heavy at work. Trousers once a week so just top or shirt and undies every day. Fairly light.

in fairness. it's downhill there and uphill back. i did a test run on a road bike without any luggage and it was only 10-15 minutes quicker…

That will keep you fit. Where's the new job?

'Only' 10-15 minutes quicker? That's around 20% quicker. If I could add 20% to my average speed, I wouldn't need to go to work every day, I'd be a professional cycling man.
Footnote. The other way to go 20% faster is of course to ride a recumbent.

altrincham. the boss is a complete arse though, and he's the owner. the company's probably just a bit young for the sexual harassment/discrimination/unfair dismissal claims that will undoubtably follow once folk have been there for longer…

on aggregate of course20 miles downhill??!! Where do you live, Alpe D'Huez?
the macclesfield road to alderley edge past the wizard is a decent descent though (and a bastard with a heavy bike, even on granny)…

not quite, 25 miles each way for him…Ouch! You'll be competing with Mr Galgut with that sort of commute
